Negeri MB says wife representing him at school event not deliberate



Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun today stressed that his wife representing him to officiate events at a secondary school in Sikamat yesterday was not deliberate.

Aminuddin explained that he was unable to attend the event as he was summoned for an audience with the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir at the time.
Hence, he said, the school had asked his wife Wan Hasni Wan Yusof to represent him in officiating the presentation of school aid and the opening of the SMK Dato’ Mohd Redza Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting in Sikamat.
“Actually, the invitation was made to me and my wife, but yesterday, I was summoned by the palace for an audience with Tuanku Muhriz.
“I then informed the school about the matter, and the school requested that my wife represent me,” he said at a press conference today.
He was asked to comment on the criticism by former PKR Rembau division chief, Badrul Hisham Shaharin, popularly known as Che'gu Bard, of Wan Hasni representing her husband at the two events.

Aminuddin said he did not see any problem with this, and that such a small matter should not be made an issue as there are bigger matters that leaders need to address.
“Anybody can dispute this, but what is important is that the school’s scheduled events went on smoothly. 
"Previously, there were also wives of leaders who represented their husbands at Quran recitals or women’s events without anyone questioning it,” he said.
